4 out of 5 stars works well so far   November 25, 2008
The product seems to work just fine. I give it 4 stars instead of five because I think it is quite overpriced for being just a little piece of plastic. I paid the money anyway after reading bad reviews regarding the quality of the cheaper third party remote switches. I will consider the money well worth it if the canon model lasts a long time. We'll see.

Also, the cord is quite short...kind of a pain if you're trying to get away from the camera at all.



5 out of 5 stars Canon quality, as usual   November 2, 2008
No surprises here, the remote works perfectly, and is an indispensable accessory for any serious photographer!


4 out of 5 stars Does what it needs to do but a bit pricey   October 3, 2008
After reading reviews of cheaper (less expensive) aftermarket versions of this device I decided to spend the extra money and get the Canon branded item. Works perfect but then it should for such a simple device for this much money. I took one star off for the excessive price.


4 out of 5 stars Does the job   September 30, 2008
I bought this for my Canon EOS 40D. The cable is a little short which is fine for me, but if you need some distance from the camera you'll need the extension cable or a wireless remote instead.

The button responds well and slides up into a detent to allow for prolonged exposures (bulb setting) without having to hold the button yourself. Unfortunately, it does this so easily I'm always getting the button stuck down without realizing it. Since I bought this for astrophotography, I just have to remember this so when I try to set up the next shot I'm not fumbling around with the camera trying to figure out why it's not working!



5 out of 5 stars A must have   September 17, 2008
I take this remote to every shoot. Helps to minimize movement when using slower shutter speeds, and also allows you to capture some more candid shots when your subject doesn't think you are snapping photos.
